Thanks Hello Fresh for sponsoring this video.
For today's cook I'm going to be making some incredible burgers. I'll be smoking the patties,
then putting a nice incredible crust made out of Takis then I'll deep fry the whole thing.
And of course top it up with some buns. Now is this going to be good or a terrible idea? I know it's
going to be spicy, but I'm curious to find out how it's going to taste. This is the flaming hot Takis
burger experiment. So let's do it! In order to make burgers the first thing you need is ground beef. I
like to grind it myself. I have a ratio of 80% beef and 20% fat. This allows me to have medium
rare burgers, but if you buy your ground beef from the supermarket it's safer to cook it all the way
through. And if you're wondering about my burger mix it's 75% brisket and 25% short rib, to me that
is the best combination for burgers. As you can see once I was done I was left with some nice thick
burgers. That's what I'm talking about! For the seasoning I did the same thing as I do with regular
steaks, a little bit of salt followed by freshly ground black pepper and garlic powder. That is good
enough because the next step is the most important one of them all. And that is to smoke all of them.
I threw it in my smoker and let it smoke. The temperature was 175 degrees fahrenheit.
I let them chill in there and get a nice smoky flavor for one hour. Once I was done take a look.
This is what they look like. As you can see there's not that much of a crust and a lot of the juices
and render fats still on the top, and unfortunately I must get rid of that. We want them nice and dry
so that we can put our takis crust. Talking about that this is the second star of the show right
here, Takis Fuego. And if you take a look at the ingredients, oh yes monosodium glutamate. Now if you
never had takis let me tell you they are spicy, but they also have a great hint of lime so using this
as a crust on a burger should be incredible. Just grab a rolling pin or anything else you have and
pound it out because once you are done you should be left with this. I like to call it takis bread
crumbs. Oh yes! I highly recommend not crushing them too much. You want some texture on the burger, if
not it's just gonna be way too soft, so I left them nice and coarse. Then I gotta prepare the
egg wash with four eggs and a little bit of milk. Mix it all up and it's ready. Now the next step is
extremely easy. First the burgers go into the egg wash, followed by the Takis breadcrumb and take a
look at this. Come on now! I cannot wait to find out how it's gonna taste. So I went ahead and
repeat the process to every single one of them. Once I was done this is what they look like.
Now that is looking fantastic, but at the same time it needs a little bit of crunchiness, and for that
I'll be deep frying every single one of them. But of course we also need a sauce and mine is super
simple, I mixed a little bit of ketchup, followed by mayo, yellow mustard, brazilian hot sauce and
finish it off with worcestershire sauce. Mix it all together because my sauce was done. Now that should
be really tasty with the burgers. For the cheese i'm going to be using the good old American cheese.
I know a lot of you are going to say American cheese is not cheese. But I'll tell you one thing
it is perfect for burgers. For the buns I'm going to be using brioche and if you need the recipe
make sure you check it out in the description. Because now we have all of our ingredients
ready. The only thing left to do is to deep fry the burgers in wagyu fat and assemble the whole thing
together. So now I say it is enough talking and it is time to make some insane burgers. So let's do it!

All right everybody here we got our beautiful single burger today Angel. No experiment huh.
-That's okay with me man that just means that if it if it's bad there's nothing else to eat. -I know right. -So
you gotta put your soul into it. -That's a that's a good way of seeing it but i'll tell you one thing
everybody I cooked eight burgers and there's only two left. He just died here right now. I
didn't try it yet, my family members tried it, I see some crazy faces and I'm excited. You ready?
-What kind of crazy faces? -Good in a good way yeah yeah yes. Check it out Angel this burger
is a little bit different obviously. I split it for you so that we can show how juicy it is. You know
a lot of people don't like it when I show them when it's juicy. -Oh there's like some red stuff
going on here. -What are you, what are you seeing the red stuff what are you what are you dissecting it
for? Huh? What is that, what is that Angel? We want to know. -It's good. -What is it? -Is that dorito?
-It's something close to. -I don't know it it has like a little bit of a like. -Is it good, bad or ugly? -It could be
spicy I don't know. -Good, bad or ugly? -It was good. -It was good? I think it might do good with the
burger. -All right we're gonna find out right now. I'll tell you one thing it is weird, I know you
guys saw it already everybody. It is weird to look at it and the top is red you see that. -Yeah
-That is weird. -It looks like a like an experiment.
-Exactly. Okay enough talking let's try this out and let you know how good it is. Cheers! -Cheers guys!
-I like it! -It's an interesting burger man. It's like I never had a burger that is so crunchy.
You know what I mean? Look you had a hard time swallowing because is crunchy. -Yeah. -Here's the thing
the bun is super soft, the middle is nicely cooked and obviously you guys know exactly
what I did. Very juicy burger! -What do you think Angel? -You smoked it. -Yeah ah that's my boy.
-And on top of that. -Yeah and then what did I do? -It's crunchy. That was your funny face bro.
-So what you're trying to tell me here is that you put in the smoker. -Yes sir. -And
then you fried it. -Exactly, with Takis it's not doritos. -I was close. -You are very close. -Wow close!
Okay. -Very, very close. -It's like almost like flaming hot cheeto stuff going on here. -That's exactly what
it is absolutely. --That's the second guess I would have had I would have got it on the third guess.
-I'll tell you one thing, this is a good experiment you can do with many other things if you do not
like flaming hot Takis, doritos or whatever it might be. You can also do it with potato chips.
Imagine with potato chips. A lot of people eat potato chips and burger together you know what
I'm saying. -I need to let them know because we didn't say it, you told me it's made with Takis.
-Yes. -It's not spicy. -No, not at all. -It's not spicy. -No what happens was when you deep fry
it the spiciness goes away. But the flavor of the takis together with a little bit of hint of lime
stays there. -And the crunch. -Extreme crunch very nice highly recommend. I would say that if you're
going to do this for your entire family do it with different flavors. I've already done a. -Yeah put some
cereal in the mix. -Yeah some cereal no. -Some corn flakes-Oh no man no sweet and sour not good. Anyway guys these are
